Book excerpt: This is the first book to explore the history of the field of Chinese numismatics from both Eastern and Western perspectives. Consisting of four papers that complement each other beautifully, it gives a sound introduction to the study of Chinese numismatics, focusing on the 19th century and, crucially, how to think about Chinese money.In "Currencies of Ancient China from their Origins to the Late Empire", François Thierry notes how Europeans sometimes understood Chinese money and sometimes got it completely wrong. In "Numismatic Friendship: Social Networks of Numismatists and Coin Collectors During the Late Qing Dynasty", Lyce Jankowski opens up the world of Chinese collectors of Chinese coins, their networks and motivations. In "A Short History of Chinese Numismatics in Western Languages", Helen Wang surveys publications to 1900, giving information about the authors, their occupations, motivations and areas of interest; and in "Chinese Money Matters, So Why Does It Have Such a Low Profile?" she looks at the current situation, and offers routes into the field. In his Introduction, Joe Cribb reflects on his study of Chinese money and how it has informed his career in numismatics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Chinese Currency: Coin and Paper Money It is now two years since the first thought occurred to me to write a historical and critical inquiry into the metallic and paper currency of the Chinese, followed from original sources. The source chiefly drawn upon and consulted by me has been "the Examination on Currency')" by the Chinese scholar Ma-two.n-lin J), treated of in the VIII and IX Volumes of his great Encyclopedia. Ma-twan-lin 8 life and works have been described by abel, remusat in the "Biographie Universelle." He was born in Po-yangs), province of Kiang-si, probably about the year 1245, when the end of the dynasty was near, and the social condition of China was most miserable in consequence of an over-issue of paper money. Under the last emperor of this dynasty he held an important public office, but when the Mongols had conquered the Chinese empire, he resigned his post aud devoted himself entirely to scientific studies. During twenty years ho was engaged upon the composition of his great work from which the materials of this volume have been gathered.

Download or read book Fountain of Fortune written by Richard von Glahn and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most striking feature of Wutong, the preeminent God of Wealth in late imperial China, was the deity’s diabolical character. Wutong was perceived not as a heroic figure or paragon but rather as an embodiment of greed and lust, a maleficent demon who preyed on the weak and vulnerable. In The Sinister Way, Richard von Glahn examines the emergence and evolution of the Wutong cult within the larger framework of the historical development of Chinese popular or vernacular religion—as opposed to institutional religions such as Buddhism or Daoism. Von Glahn’s study, spanning three millennia, gives due recognition to the morally ambivalent and demonic aspects of divine power within the common Chinese religious culture. Surveying Chinese religion from 1000 BCE to the beginning of the twentieth century, The Sinister Way views the Wutong cult as by no means an aberration. In Von Glahn’s work we see how, from earliest times, the Chinese imagined an enchanted world populated by fiendish fairies and goblins, ancient stones and trees that spring suddenly to life, ghosts of the unshriven dead, and the blood-eating spirits of the mountains and forests. From earliest times, too, we find in Chinese religious culture an abiding tension between two fundamental orientations: on one hand, belief in the power of sacrifice and exorcism to win blessings and avert calamity through direct appeal to a multitude of gods; on the other, faith in an all-encompassing moral equilibrium inhering in the cosmos.
